Dutch anti-Islam politician creates stir in UK

Dutch anti-Islam maverick Geert Wilders has taken his cinematic assault on the Quran to Britain's House of Lords, sparking heated debate inside the building and angry protests outside.

The invitation to Parliament, and Wilders' stunning political gains in the Netherlands this week, highlight a growing dichotomy in Europe: concern at the increasing number of Muslims who reject long-cherished liberal values, against the liberal tradition of welcoming the world's unfortunates and embracing multiculturalism.
Wilders screened his 15-minute film "Fitna" to about 60 people Friday, including a half-dozen peers, in a wood-paneled committee room in Parliament. The film associates the Quran with terrorism, homophobia and repression of women.
